- Echota, on 01/05/2009, -0/+10Who owns who?
- BishkekBuddy, on 10/04/2008, -0/+5The media owns McCain.... but he's trying to switch that around..
- niradg, on 10/04/2008, -0/+10I'll give him credit- that's one sneaky way to try and buy an election. Corrupt to the bone.
- evelynvesta, on 10/04/2008, -0/+5Yes well that's not surprising. I keep thinking Obama should stop saying he'll take on the big boys and just do it after he's in office. It's like shouting "I'm calling 911" while a guy beats up his girlfriend. It's a good way to get a sock in the jaw yourself.
- peheimbach, on 10/05/2008, -0/+2Fox - owned by non-American Murdoch. (Yes, I know he "swore citizenship oath" but if we work by Repub allegations about certain others ...) $28.6 billion in revenue. [Murdoch is also on Philip Morris' board. (Phillip Morris donated 2.9 million to George W Bush in 2000)]
ABC - Owned by Walt Disney (for cryin' out loud. Sure. They're going to oppose the myth of "family values". They're bloody BUILT on that myth. [Even if "The Little Mermaid" advocates defiance of parents and underage marriage, IMHO....]
NBC - owned by GE. [$172 Billion annual income, $239 billion market cap. Yeah, they want those tax loopholes closed and their lobbyists taken away. NOT - Oh, they donated $1.1 million to G Bush in 2000, among others, and they like NUCLEAR power, not the green alternatives]
CBS/Westinghouse - Owned by Viacom through a sort of "partner" co-own stock scheme. [Routinely violates personal privacy rights -- most notably in its 'case' against YouTube. They LIKE the Republican style, I'll wager. Equally, Westinghouse Electric Company, part of the Nuclear Utilities Business Group of British Nuclear Fuels (BNFL) ]
CNN -- TimeWarner (donated 1.6 million to GW's 2000 campaign)
(Might want to find 2004 donation figures too, but all-in-all, not a bad investment if you're the Big Five outlets.)
